These days, the news cycle seems to be spinning even quicker than before. The headlines we see are because of the constant news about the new Republican administration with Donald Trump at its helm.

With the news, also comes a lot of speculation as people focus on politicians, and their actions. The latest piece of news has been set straight by the President himself.

Keep reading to learn more about what Donald Trump clarified.

President Donald Trump has been under scrutiny recently, much like any President is. People tend to focus on his every word and move. Before his speech in front of Congress, the President said something to Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, an action which raised a lot of eyebrows.

Earlier this week, Trump delivered his presidential speech to Congress, mentioning Vladimir Putin and the ‘strong signals’ he had given to the US for peace. Trump also mentioned the letter Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky had written him, in which the Ukrainian Premier mentioned that he wanted peace and would be happy to sign the minerals deal with the US, whenever it was convenient for them.

While the speech made many headlines, something that preceded it raised many eyebrows. President Trump had an exchange with Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, with a camera catching the President saying thank you. Some theories that have come out since then about the interaction, with people speculating about what he could be thanking the Justice for.

But before any of the theories could take hold, President Donald Trump took to the platform Truth Social and wrote, “The Fake ‘Play the Ref’ News, in order to create a divide between me and our great U.S. Supreme Court, heard me say last night, loudly and openly as I was walking past the Justices on the way to the podium, ‘thank you’, to Chief Justice John Roberts.”

He continued, “Like most people, I don’t watch Fake News CNN or MSDNC, but I understand they are going ‘crazy’ asking what is it that I was thanking Justice Roberts for?”

He went on, “They never called my office to ask, of course, but if they had I would have told these sleazebag ‘journalists’ that I thanked him for SWEARING ME IN ON INAUGURATION DAY, AND DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB IN SO DOING! The Fake News never quits!”

In the address he made to Congress, the war in Ukraine was on the top of his agenda. This comes after Trump’s disastrous Oval Office meeting with Zelensky, where he told the Ukrainian President that he was ‘gambling with World War 3.’

“The letter reads Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer,” Trump said.

“Nobody wants peace more than the Ukrainians. Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it at any time that is convenient for you,” the letter had said.

Well, that clears up the speculation that might have been born out of this incident. What do you think about all of this? Let us know in the comments.
